A collapsing trap is described. The collapsing trap includes a base and a plurality of surrounding panels pivotally attached with the base. An outer panel is attached with one of the surrounding panels. A locking mechanism is attached with the surrounding panels to selectively hold the panels in an open configuration. A trigger is operably connected with the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a locking pivot that is attached with the base and connected with the trigger. The locking pivot is adapted to rotate and lock onto each of the surrounding panels to hold the surrounding panels in an open and substantially planar configuration. When the locking pivot is activated by the trigger, the locking pivot rotates to release the surrounding panels and cause the surrounding panels (and outer panel) to collapse up and around the base to trap the item therein.

Collapsing trap

The present invention is for an apparatus and method for using a special effects drinking lid which can be used to create movement in a moveable object, produce light, and/or produce a distinctive aroma or odor from a drinking container lid. The special effects drinking lid comprises: a container lid; a straw hole; an attaching means for connecting said container lid to a drinking container; an electrical circuit assembly; at least one activating mechanism for triggering at least one special effect; said activating mechanism is connected to said special effects; and said special effects are connected to said container lid.

Special effects drinking lid

The present invention is for special effects drinking lid and straw, which can be used with various drinking containers. The specially designed container lid has special effects mechanisms that can illuminate the container lid, the container itself, the straw as well as figures, objects and designs connected to the lid and/or straw. Different special effects mechanisms can be used to produce light, sound, create movement in a moveable object, and/or produce a distinctive aroma or odor from a drinking container lid.
